Grief counselors and therapists in Alaska

Finding the right therapist matters. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. My style is conversational, collaborative, and direct, balancing warmth with honesty and practical feedback. I work especially well with individuals impacted by trauma, chronic stress, and moral injury arising from high-responsibility environments, including veterans, first responders, and medical professionals. Many appear highly functional outwardly while privately struggling with anxiety, exhaustion, disrupted sleep, or feeling disconnected from themselves, others, or the lives they once recognized.

Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm glad you're here. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping adults and teens navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, life transitions, and chronic stress. I believe healing happens when we care for the whole person, not just the symptoms. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and, most importantly, empowered to create meaningful change.

I’m Dr. Heather Cromwell, a Licensed Professional Counselor providing telehealth therapy to adults in Alaska and Oregon. I have over 10 years of experience working in behavioral health across outpatient, inpatient, and community mental health settings, including extensive work with individuals experiencing serious and persistent mental illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.

My background includes a Ph.D. and Master’s degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, along with years of leadership and program development experience in behavioral healthcare. I bring both clinical expertise and a practical, person-centered approach to therapy.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and emotionally safe. My style is warm, collaborative, direct when helpful, and grounded in authenticity. I work to create a space where clients can better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, process difficult experiences, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I strive to make the process feel approachable and comfortable from the very beginning.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 25 years of clinical experience. I hold a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Health Psychology and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology.

I am licensed in multiple states and have worked with military members within the VA, Army, and Air Force. My clinical focus includes clinical health psychology, trauma-informed care, integrated primary care behavioral health, and psychological assessment across the lifespan.

I am trained in evidence-based treatments such as EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am deeply committed to whole-person wellness and helping people find their empowered selves.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy backcountry skiing, bow hunting, hot yoga, and connecting with spiritual aspects of the natural world.

I am able to evaluate and make diagnoses, and/or support existing diagnoses and work with you for a 'best-fit' solution to your needs. So many come from a past of being told they are 'X, Y, Z" and often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed.

My goal is to help find a good treatment start point that resonates with you and provide evidence-based treatment to support your needs, goals, and desires to bring relief and remission, joy and hope.

All options on the table including progressive medication management, psychotherapy and counseling, or referrals for other modalities including deepTMS.

Hello, I'm Evette. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor registered with the State of Colorado. With over 10 years of experience, I've had the privilege of working with individuals, children, adolescents, and families facing a variety of mental health challenges. My journey began by providing clinical services to children in the foster care system through agency contracts, and I have also served as a clinician for the Colorado Department of Corrections, focusing on offender populations. Today, I operate my own private mental health practice, where I continue to support and guide my clients through their healing journeys.
